    Have you ever heard of the buddy system? It’s used in schools, at daycares or in families to keep kids from getting lost. Children are taught to stay with their buddy and help each other go the right way.

    3 Benefits of Christ Living in Us Have you ever heard of the buddy system? It’s used in schools, at daycares or in families to keep kids from getting lost. Children are taught to stay with their buddy and help each other go the right way. But what do we do when we don’t have a buddy or friend? ...read more

    The Truth Of God

     | 1,702 views

    God's Word is truth in a world of contradictions and falsehood. We must, as followers of Jesus Christ, stay firm in what Scripture teaches and demands of us, regardless of what the world, the flesh, and the devil say and do.

    The Lord Jesus taught that the end times would be characterized by deceit, hatred of God, lies, malevolence, lack of love, and an intense persecution of believers. False teachers would plague the church (Matthew 24:11-12), and many who claim to be "Christians" will fall away from the ...read more

    Reasons To Be Faithful To God In Persecution Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 18, 2024
     | 1,103 views

    There are two different topics to explore in this message: The reasons to stay faithful to God during a persecution, and, the role of deacons (or elders or servants) in the church. All of these come as a result of the faithfulness of the early believers, and should be an encouragement for us.

    To the Ends of the Earth, Part 8 Reasons to be Faithful to God in Persecution Acts 5:26-42 and 6:1-7 Introduction - Welcome to Seasons Church & 2024 sermon series, “To the Ends of the Earth” -- In 2023 we unpacked the beginning of all history (Creation/Fall/Promise) -- And we looked ...read more

    Keep your prayer armour on in season and out of season. In good times and bad times, no matter the circumstance or situation, stay alert and prayerful, and great victories will come to you if you refuse to give up in the place of prayer

    There is mighty working power in prayer. Prayer avails much; prayer can do great things in us and for us, prayer can give us victory! The message version of James 5:16 says ‘The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with.’ Prayer is something worth taking ...read more

    Ministering To The Sick

     | 1,746 views

    People can become so afraid of catching an illness that they will stay clear of anyone who is sick. Jesus challenged people to realize that caring for the spiritual needs of others far supersedes one’s desire for self-preservation.

    I want to begin our message today with two quotes by Mother Teresa; and here is the first quote: “The biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted.”(1) In her humanitarian efforts in Calcutta, Mother Teresa saw a lot of rejection and hopelessness, ...read more

    Jesus was left behind at His Father's House by Mary and Joseph after the Festival. How often do we leave Jesus behind as well? Why did Jesus stay behind? Find out.

    12.29.24 Luke 2:41–52 (EHV) 41 Every year his parents traveled to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival. 42 When he was twelve years old, they went up according to the custom of the Festival. 43 When the days had ended, as they were returning, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem.

    Out Of The Saltshaker

    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,712 views

    God wants to flavor us with His goodness so we can let others taste and see that He is good. Salty Christians are authentic, maintain their flavor, and aren’t afraid of change.

    Out of the Salt Shaker Matthew 5:13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” Intro: Did you know that salt is a miracle? It’s composed of 2 poisons: ...read more

    One person once observed: “If men will not understand the meaning of judgment, they will never come to understand the meaning of grace.” So, what is the "meaning of judgment"? And what does that tell us about "the meaning of grace"?

    This is the 7th of 11 Studies on the Book of James, in which we will be looking at the two kinds of wisdom - demonic wisdom and divine wisdom.

    James 3:13-16 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is ...read more

    Cleanliness (Leviticus)

    The Israelites were taught to use water, a waiting period, and sacrifice to cleanse themselves. We too have the gifts of water (baptism), savior of all time and the final sacrifice.

    Opening and Introduction I grew up in West Texas in a place called Big Spring. It’s a small town with tumbleweeds, oil wells, and loose dust that turns into a dust storm when the wind really starts blowing. One of our really big problems was water, and the water that we had was really hard. If ...read more

    Psalms 14 And 53 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 26, 2020
     | 6,239 views

    Psalms 14 and 53 are similar to each other, having only minor differences in the mode of expressing the same thoughts. This sermon studies the two passages in parallel, slightly enlarging the understanding of their combined content.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    Ruth a Moabite, wouldn’t have been accepted by the Israelites, but because God had plans for her life, and her heart was pure before Him, she ended up marrying Boaz, “a man of great wealth and integrity.” Moreover, from their ancestral line came David.

    Determined Love 101 Ruth 1:14-18NKJ Then they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.15 And she said, “Look, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.” ...read more

    With every pound of the nail, the leprosy of our sins disappeared. With every drop of his blood our spirits became whiter and cleaner and brighter. When He walked away from the empty tomb we were spiritually new creations with hearts and souls as pure and clean as the day that we were born, amen?

    Hello … my name is Joram. I was born and raised in the sleepy little Samaritan town of Shiloh. Never heard of it? I’m not surprised. It’s about a 100 miles south of nowhere. The only people who know about Shiloh are the people like me who live there or the occasional stranger who is lost or ...read more

    I didn't come to Jesus for Jesus. I came to Jesus, I flew to Jesus, cried out to Jesus, because I believed he could save me. My motives weren't perfect or pure or righteous. I came because I was desperate, broken, and lost.

    I didn't come to Jesus for Jesus. I came to Jesus, I flew to Jesus, cried out to Jesus, because I believed he could save me. My motives weren't perfect or pure or righteous.

    What does the joy of forgiveness and the joy of partnership of God mean to you? Can others tell that you have joy?

    Joy in Partnership 3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until ...read more
